Deductibles on Outer Mission policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case. Matching provisions in a policy matter on Outer Mission tile roof coverings where the original profile is discontinued.
Standing seam on a Outer Mission property hides its fixings, which removes the nearly all common leak path on exposed metal. As a rule, metal has grown in Outer Mission for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. In practice, tile is widespread across Outer Mission, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches homeowners out. That is as true in Outer Mission as anywhere in San Francisco County.
